Yes, you can. It's not worth it unless you have very hot running drives. It would be much easier and cheaper to put a simple low RPM fan in front of them. I also wouldn't do it for fear of springing a leak. While a leak anywhere in a system can be damaging, having water leak onto a running drive would be particularly dangerous-hardware can be purchased again, your data cannot.

I had thought about this myself. But was worried that it wouldnt be worth dumping the extra heat into my system, or adding the extra head to my pump.

A large, well-blown rad\core will fix the former, a powerful pump (or dual-pumps in parallel) the latter. Two independent loops (one for say, the CPU-GPU and another for the NB-HDD's) would be good too. Maybe I'll try one of these options when I'm rich!

Series is pretty much worthless unless you have a really, really long loop and you actually need a second pump somewhere along the line just to rejuvenate the water velocity. Also keep in mind that some waterblocks, like the MCW6002, actually work better in a low flow system than a high flow one.

You are looking at about a 3c - 4c drop on the hard drive itself, also, you may be adding more heat with a parallel pump than you will be getting rid of from those drives.
